notes that a comprehensive weight loss program
should not only look into changing your diet but also include a means
for increasing calories expenditure.
One of the factors that lead to excess body weight is a
“sitting down” culture we have developed. Weight
loss running is indeed a deliberate inclusion of increased physical
activity in your lifestyle for the purpose of managing your weight.
And though it may not be a favorite to most people, running has some
minor though significant advantage over walking
for
weight loss. Leading of this is that if done properly,
running for weight loss will result to more calorie expenditure for the
same time of walking not to mention increased weight loss fitness.
For example, walking a 20 minute mile on flat ground may burn around
100 calories for a person weighing 150 pounds. Of these 100
calories a comfortable 80% is fat. This means you burn 80 calories of
fat.
On the other hand, vigorous running of 8 minute mile for 30 minutes
will burn 446 calories. Due to the intensity, only approximately 30%
i.e. 135 calories will be from fat.
The rest will be from carbohydrate (glycogen). However, inspite of a
lower percentage of fat burned you were still able to burn one and a
half times more fat running, than walking.
But with this huge calories deficit
you also
introduce a problem of
hunger. Any exercise that results to high use of glycogen is usually
followed with hunger pangs due to fluctuations in blood glucose.

deals with this topic. It points to how
to do weight loss
cardios
like
weight loss running, walking etc and still successfully manage the
resulting hunger.
Another inherent advantage for running weight loss is the fact that it
tends to build muscle a little more than walking. Preservation of your
lean muscle tissue is a priority in maintaining weight loss all the way
to your weight loss goal. This is the reason weight
loss strength training is a necessity in any given weight
loss program.
And though running weight
loss exercises may not develop muscle to the extent that
resistance
training does, it however engages you muscle quite a bit, to allow you
to stop muscle atrophy in dieting.
Other advantages include, running is easy to do. All you need are
running shoes and an open space. It is also cheap and can be done
in-house using a treadmill.
But running for weight loss is not all roses. Running increases risk of
injury, particularly of the knees. Infact it is advised that heavy
individuals, as well as individuals that have been physically inactive
for a long time to NOT start off with running. Walking and walking
slowly is the preferred start point.
The impact on knees when running can be as high as three time that of
walking. So learning a good form of running can take you along way in
avoiding injuries.
Before you start running, you need to check your basic
fitness first. And as
